Maddux Moved in Another Blockbuster

To Lakeview
Greg Maddux (Rd 1)- 4-10, 3.79 ERA, 121 IP, 132, 18 BB, 66 K
Allan Trammell (Rd 8) - .222 / .259 / .268 in 194 AB
Pete Rose (Rd 18) - .266 / .319 / .341, 13 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR

To Chatanooga
Dan Haren (Rd 5)- 8-8, 3.66 ERA, 150 IP, 149 H, 44 BB, 90 K
Luke Appling (Rd 15) - .299 / .362 / .321, 6 2B, 27 R, 31 RBI
Ken Singleton (Rd 14) - .350 / .430 / .487, 18 R, 18 RBI in 117 AB

Here is another trade that will undoubtedly cause much discussion.  

The pessimistic view:  Chatanooga traded the second best pitcher in baseball for a league average pitcher, slap hitting infielder and a back up outfielder.

The other side:  Chatanooga has to do something to kickstart their 30-58 team, and trading their underpforming start for three players who can step in to strarting roles immediately.

As always, please be civil in the comments

  1. I kept Pedro last year on a truly bad hitting team in a real bad hitters park .It was fun watching him lose games 1-0. 3-2 2-1 woof and interesting trade .Maybe da Brews will not have the worst record this year !!

  2. Wow, this is a very lopsided trade!!!!!

    If people want to improve their team, why don't they post their offers before finalizing the deal?

    Maddox is worth a lost more than what was received back.

    Some of the recent trades (including this one) seem like "buddy" deals (even if they are not).

    I would have offered a lot more for Maddox.

    These lopsided deals are tipping the balance in the league and taking a lot of the fun out of it.

  3. Pretty ugly deal.

    The four position guys are throw-ins.
    This is essentially Maddux for Haren, which is obviously bad, no matter what Maddux's record this year.
